A. Continuum of Care Updates
Liddy Bargar, HSC Director of Housing Initiatives staffs the Tompkins County (TC)
Continuum of Care (CoC). Nels Bohn, IURA Director of Community Development,
co-chairs the TC CoC with Cindy Wilcox, HSC Executive Director. She joined to
discuss developments in the CoC landscape following HUD’s policy changes.
1

[PAGE 3]
The TC CoC is a local community planning network of public, private, and non-
profit partners with the mission of making homelessness rare, brief, and one-
time in Tompkins County. CoCs exist across the nation to build and maintain
homeless response systems. CoCs collect data for reporting to HUD. Progress
toward CoC goals are called System Performance Measures (SPMs). Ms.
Bargar’s presentation included local SPMs. Her presentation deck is included at
the end of these Minutes.
Examples of local SPMs: Measure 1: Length of homelessness in TC has increased
20% since 2022 but has decreased 16% since 2023. Measure 5: First-time
homelessness has decreased 12% since 2022.
CoCs apply for funding from HUD by responding to its Notice of Funding
Opportunity(s) (NOFO). Each NOFO names the priorities for that funding cycle.
It is a competitive process. In 2024, Congress directed HUD to issue a NOFO that
would fund two years of programming because responding to the NOFO is a
large undertaking for CoCs. Awards for the 2024 NOFO competition were
announced with TC CoC doing very well in the 2024 NOFO-- all aspects of its
proposal(s) were funded. This achievement reflects the work being done in the
community.
In July 2025, HUD revoked the prior announcement and notified CoCs that a
different NOFO would be issued that reflected the current Administration’s
policies. The new NOFO, with new priorities and a new tiering system was
announced in November 2025. Only 30% of projects can be Permanent
Supportive Housing (PSH). In TC, 88% of the projects are PSH, a reduction of 53%
locally. Under new priorities, (older) models like transitional housing or support
services-only were what CoCs could apply for. Nonprofits and twenty-one
states’ attorneys general have undertaken lawsuits enjoining the NOFO
revocation/reissuance. Currently, the re-issued competition is paused while the
lawsuit is in progress. Locally, the Administration’s proposed changes to the
HUD NOFO would impact the following groups the most: current residents of
PSH; youth under age 25; people with disabilities; staff working in housing.
Baker asked (~21:50) how “disabilities” are being defined and how it affects
people, especially those under 25. Bargar responded that historically the
definition has included mental, behavioral (substance use disorder – SUD), and
physical disabilities, HIV+/AIDS, and some other conditions. One of the major
changes of the NOFO is how the definition of “disability” was changed – now
includes only people over 62 and not necessarily the above. Bargar’s
presentation includes a slide showing disability status of individuals in
emergency shelter—mental health disorders (35%) and SYD (22%) are the most
prevalent. Bargar also noted (~30:40) that data show when individuals
experienced repeated episodes of homelessness, the severity/number of their
2

[PAGE 4]
disabilities increased. Developmental disabilities are likely to be
underreported—there is an opportunity here to do better. Baker concurred that
early diagnosis is key. If a disability is not noticed early, it is harder (and less
likely) to be diagnosed and treated later. Services, where they exist, are hard to
get (even with diagnosis). Poor outcomes for the individual, such as eventual
homelessness beginning in youth, are not unlikely.
[According to CoC analysis, HUD’s proposed changes would result in 60 lost PSH
beds at such sites as Chartwell, Magnolia House, Amici House, SJCS permanent
housing, and others.]
B. Adjustments to 2025 Project #15 “Work Preserve: Job Readiness” (~58.25)
Mendizabal shared updated information from Historic Ithaca (HI) about its Work
Preserve (WP): Job Readiness program. HI asked for and received an extension
in submitting its Commitment paperwork [see below for background on what
Commitment Materials are] for accepting 2025 CDBG funding for its Readiness
program while its Board and Executive Director worked through details. It was
received on December31, 2025.
Background: What Commitment Materials (paperwork) Are: A letter to
AAP grantee saying that IURA has committed x amount of funding, and
asking the grantee to confirm that it wants the funding and agrees to
serve the number of beneficiaries they have indicated (along with brief
project description). The letter requests a variety of other pieces of
information essential for creating the contract: a resolution from the
grantee’s board accepting the information (to confirm the board is aware
of the commitment), documentation of insurance coverage, an updated
project budget (“Uses & Sources”), contact information who the grantee
wants to review the contract, and some other things. Some of the items
are relatively easy for the grantee to send, others may be more difficult.
For example, the grantee’s board may not meet monthly. If they don’t,
the grantee may need more time for the resolution. IURA needs the
materials back within about 45-60 days in order to develop contract.
The 2025 HI Work Preserve applications (Job Placement, now cancelled, and Job
Readiness) were prepared by HI Staff that are no longer with the agency.
Executive Director Zach Lifton submitted a new program summary along with
“right-sized” program outline to serve up to 15 students annually with job
readiness only. However, with the reprogrammed funds from last month [$3,00
for HI WP: Job Readiness], the beneficiary number will need to be 15 at
minimum.
3

[PAGE 5]
Graham noted the new program description still includes exposure to jobs in the
field. How that looks now would be a good question to ask if they bring forward
a 2026 application, Mendizabal noted.
HI has recently formed a partnership with New Roots in addition to working with
BOCES, which helps them reach youth, albeit – as noted by Committee
Members—both of those educational institutions serve young people who are
not necessarily City Residents. Williams and Baker wondered how HI would
reach City residents. Mendizabal indicated this needs to be underlined. They
are required to serve a majority – 51% -- City residents and they need to be LMI.
C. Update – Common Council Legislative Policies
Included in the packet was a summary of the Common Council committee
structure, as they exist now—these do not include the new Council members
yet. This is for informational purposes only, showing the areas community
development that Council is involved in—apart from IURA, but of potential
interest to this Committee.
De Aragon noted that the County’s structured approach to including department
heads in meetings of committees of the County Legislature – there was
alignment between a department’s funded activities and the committees they
reported to— which he found very effective. Mendizabal said there were
similarities and differences in the City’s version. Yes, there are Common
Councilmember liaisons to agencies/departments like IURA. On the staff side,
staff members must bring forward information to the Council if there is an
advisory committee for the topic being discussed. The City’s process does not
seem as structured as the County’s, de Aragon observed. Baker said she’s
experienced a lack of communication between departments, particularly relating
to actions/activities planned by one that affects the other. Graham noted that
NIC could invite the new Common Council liaison to IURA to the NIC meeting to
discuss ideas for improving communication.
VI. Other Business
A. IURA Grants Summary
The November 2025 grants summary was included in the packet and Mendizabal
provided the much-needed larger format version at Committee member places.
She said that going forward she would provide hard copies of the meeting
agenda and the large grant summary for everyone and asked that Committee
Members let her know if they want anything else printed for them to refer to.
Mendizabal reached out to projects that are moving slower, as part of
spenddown vigilance. FLRU reports being on schedule for expenditure of their
2024 funding; Mendizabal informed them they are free to voucher more often.
INHS Homeowner Rehab has been able to do two emergency boiler
4

[PAGE 6]
replacements this winter so far and has a third project in the pipeline—they are
doing a lot to try to close out their project. BHU may have a voucher underway;
BHU and The Village [fiscal sponsor] may have had a disconnect but the first
reimbursement was accomplished. Mendizabal didn’t hear back from DICC
about the status of the ADA doors, which is unusual. Work Preserve has been
covered in prior discussion.
After last night’s public hearing on the matter, Common Council adopted the
Substantial Amendments put forward in November 2025 for SSCC Fire Panel,
Cass Park, and INHS 215 Cleveland Ave, so Mendizabal will inform those
grantees.
[Discussed under Staff Report but relevant in this section.] The Cecil A. Malone
project is complete but has not submitted its voucher yet. They’ve conferred
with Bohn about cost documentation. Bohn is also in touch regularly with
Shared Kitchen Ithaca (SKI).
B. Staff Report
Mendizabal reported briefly on the following:
City Planner Sam Quinn-Jacobs has been working on a publicly available
dashboard that will show units of housing and affordable housing. Longtime
desire of both staff and residents!
IURA Accountant, Kim Cook, is taking a job at the County. IURA is seeking a
replacement.

IV. Review of Minutes: January 2026
One member abstained from voting due to previous meeting’s absence. A
procedural question came up about whether abstention can be considered a vote.
[Following up, Robert’s Rules of Order and IURA Bylaws were consulted. According
to Robert’s Rules, “... an abstention being a refusal to vote. To abstain means to
refrain from voting, and consequently there can be no such thing as an “abstention
vote.” However, in a subsequent meeting of the IURA Board, alternate approach
allowed for Minutes to be accepted in a similar situation.]

Baker noted her upcoming absence for one of the application review meetings.
Mendizabal said in the past, absent Committee members shared their comments
with the Chair for discussion purposes. The absent member may not vote, however,
unless their absence has met the City’s criteria for being able to attend virtually.
(The criteria is fairly narrow and mainly has to do with absences due to illness.)
A. Action Item – Resolution – 2025 Designation of Ithaca Neighborhood Housing
Services as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and as a
Community Based Development Organization (CBDO) (`5:00)
Mendizabal distributed the INHS Board List contained board members’
addresses, which is relevant to CHDO and CBDO designations (not included in
minutes due to personal addresses). This application is 111 pages and includes
resumes, which Committee Members have seen before, financial audit and
more. INHS bylaws have not changed and are on file.
Mendizabal spoke briefly about the differences about CHDO and CBDO. CHDO
requires some things that CBDO, such as financial documentation. You could say
CHDO is higher bar. The regulations say that a CHDO can automatically be a
CBDO in some cases. IURA Staff analyzed the regulation in regard to INHS’ now-
greater service area in 2023. Due to INHS history (centered in Ithaca, its original
service area), board composition and practice, it seems INHS is substantially
similar to an organization that can be a CHDO and CBDO. If passed, this
designation will again go to the HUD Buffalo Regional Office for input.
The Chair asked whether there were questions, comments, or concerns.
De Aragón moved for approval; Baker seconded.
2025 Designation of Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc.
(INHS)as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO)
and as a Community Based Development Organization (CHDO)

2025 Action Plan, pending input from HUD.
Adopted 3-0.
B. Discussion 2026 Annual Action Plan Application Review & Preparation (~9:32)
Mendizabal invited the Committee Members to let her know if they have any
Action Planning-related questions, to let her know and she can research if
needed and bring information to next meeting.
3

[PAGE 10]
Current news is that Congress seems willing to support level funding [the same
funding as last year] for HUD’s CDBG and HOME programs. This is hopeful,
though not definite, the Chair noted.
From her consultations, outreach, and technical assistance meetings for 2026
AAP, Mendizabal said it looked as if the Committee could be reviewing several
Public Facilities applications. In general, “public facilities” can be a public
building, public infrastructure, or an improvement to one of these. They can also
be a building where services are offered to the (LMI) public and owned by a
private nonprofit. Several nonprofits in Ithaca own their buildings which
eventually need upgrades, so sometimes nonprofits apply for Public Facilities
(PF) funding.
The Chair asked if this information was new. Mendizabal responded that the
information was not new. However, since there may be more PF applications
coming forward than have recently, she thought the Committee might be
looking for deeper information with which to evaluate or compare them against
each other.
General examples of Public Facilities from CDBG Desk Guide: Community
centers, health facilities, parks, water/sewer/flood drainage improvements.
Also: Homeless shelters, childcare centers, health centers for people with AIDS.
Area-wide services serve the entire neighborhood or community. Census
information determines the public benefit numbers (based on total % of LMI
people in the block group). Limited clientele projects serve a specific population
with a predominant characteristic in common like children (childcare) or youth
(youth centers), people with AIDS, specifically, rather than any health issue.
Steps for determining eligibility.
1. Does the proposed activity meet basic CDBG eligibility? If so,
2. Which National Objective does it fit? Normally, the project is trying to meet
the “Primary National Objective” – benefit to LMI people.
3. Next, determine the type of benefit to LMI people. (This is relevant because
the type must be documented).
a. Area (or “area-wide”) Benefit – These are projects that can be used by
anyone in the area, in which case, the area must majority LMI.
i. With area wide benefit, census data is used to determine the
income composition of the neighborhood/area, and it must be
majority LMI.
b. Limited Clientele- These are projects that benefit a group with a
common characteristic.
4

[PAGE 11]
i. With limited clientele, the users (clientele) will be asked about
household size and income to show that at least 51% of those
receiving the benefit are LMI (51% is also the minimum
amount of participants that must be City residents).
ii. Along with household size and income, other data such as
demographic information (race, ethnicity) might be collected
for HUD.
iii. Within limited clientele, there are certain groups that HUD
automatically presumes to be LMI including unhoused people,
severely disabled adults, abused children. The project does
not have to collect income data for these groups.
Further considerations: Is the funding for a property owned by a private
nonprofit? If so, how can the CDBG investment be protected? What happens if
they vacate or sell the property? Example: The property at 618 W. State St. that
served as the local homeless shelter for many years was owned by a local
nonprofit. There were different operators of services using the building. The
nonprofit had an agreement [similar but not the same as an affordability
agreement] that required the building to serve LMI people, so whoever the
nonprofit rented to needed to fulfill that agreement to provide such services.
The HUD Entitlement application has not changed. The same information is
being collected to determine how their project provides benefit to LMI people.
Each service “type” (the “area wide’- type uses census, “limited clientele”-type
collects self-reported data such as income from clients) reports on how they
reach the primary National Objective (benefit to LMI people). Using the SAVE
system at intake for limited clientele activities would be new [at time this time,
this new requirement of HUD is being challenged in court, so implementation is
paused].
C. Information: Latest Tompkins County Housing Snapshot (2024, Released
December 2025) (~47:00)
Committee Members might wish to review the County’s latest Housing Snapshot
since it overlaps with some of the work NIC does. Some take-aways include
higher housing cost burden for renters and perhaps a slight decrease in housing
cost burden for homeowners countywide. The Chair pointed out the near
absence of new rental or homeowner housing for middle-income earners, and
there is little to no funding for that segment. The Housing Snapshot is filled with
data, charts, and reporting on actual progress toward the goals stated. NIC could
invite the County planners in for a discussion, though with application review, it’s
not a great fit timewise.

Staff has a meeting scheduled with FLRU to understand how they might start
spending down their 2025 funding and how this large amount “online” might
affect how much they apply for in 2026.
This year, unlike previous years, reviewers also have the Spenddown Work-out
Plan to consider in funding projects.
Historic Ithaca has undergone further staff turnover. Mendizabal has reached
out to the HI Board to understand whether it think it will be able to implement
the Work Preserve: Job Readiness.
